A house that needs significant work is hard to sell traditionally. Mortgage lenders flag conditions and pull financing. Buyers walk after inspections come back ugly. The retail market is built for move-in ready properties, and yours is not. That is fine. There is a different path.
What as is actually means
When we say as is, we mean it. No inspection contingency. No repair credits negotiated after the offer. No retreading the price three days before closing. The number we give you is the number you net (minus your own existing mortgage payoff if any).
Things that scare retail buyers but do not scare us
Failed septic. Roof at end of life. Foundation cracks or settling. Knob and tube wiring throughout. Underground oil tank. Cracked or sloped slab. Hoarder conditions. Fire or water damage. Mold. Asbestos siding or pipe wrap.
How we estimate repairs
We do not pad the repair budget to lowball you. We use real contractor numbers we have already paid for similar work in the last twelve months. If you want to see the breakdown, we will walk you through it line by line. The offer makes sense because we have to actually fix all of this, but it should not feel like a heist.
Why this is faster than listing as a fixer
Yes, you could list as a fixer upper or to investors only. But the buyer pool shrinks dramatically. Showings, due diligence, financing contingencies on hard money, and the back and forth on price all stretch the timeline. With us it is one offer, one buyer, one date.
Next step
If your house needs work and you do not want to do it, that is exactly what we buy. Tell us the address and the issues you know about. We will go from there.
